help with decimal place printing

I have written code to print out 2 decimal places, however if the numbers in the 2 places are zero they do not print
ie $10.00 prints $10

is there a code that is standard that can instist on the zeroes being printed

here is what i have

Code:

---

cout.setf(ios::fixed);
      cout.setf(ios::showpoint);
      cout.precision(2);

---

how would you suggest i change that to print the money decimals even if they are zero

thanks for all the great help, you guys have been great

jessie

What are you couting? Try checking if (num*100)%10 == 0, if it does (I think), the number has two trailing decimal places. If (num*100)%100 == 0, it has one.

i am couting bank account balances.
but if the account has only $10.00 it couts $10 instead of $10.00

I am trying to figure out a way to make it print the .00 place holders

Do as I said and if the first one is true cout .00, if the second one is true cout 0. I'm not sure if this is correct as I can't compile it now, but it should work.

The original code works for me. Can you show your full program so we can test it?

Wait... you're using a floating point to represent currency? No bank in the world would do that. Floats can't represent numbers like .5 correctly no matter how precise they are; its a fundemental limitation. It's a damn lot better to use a scaled integer: smallest two decimal places for cents values, higher places for dollar values.


As for the original problem, you should make sure the manipulators are still in effect when you print the money values. Try inlining the manipulators

Code:

---

std::cout << std::setprecision(2) << "foo";

---

and see if it works.

I am not sure what you are trying to tell me to do with the formula you gave me (where to put it)

here is the program
menu selection 5 does not print the .00, it will print 25.43 just fine........
anyway any insight is greatly appreciated.

Code:

What I am trying to say:

Code:

---

if ((num*100)%10 == 0)
    cout << num << ".00" << endl;
else if ((num*100)%100 == 0)
    cout << num << "0" << endl;
else
    cout << num << endl

Tell me if this works.

Your problem is that your code that changes the output is after all the code that does the work in the program. You need to place that stuff before Menu_Selection() is called.

There's no need to use manutd's code, just put your own in the right place.

Yes, your/Dave_Sinkula's solution is better than mine, as mine is rather hackish.

Code:

---

fflush(stdin);

Read the FAQ for why this is bad.
